UTG was dealt Aces once and Kings twice within about 5 hands. The last two times, he told the board what his hand was on the flop. Played straightforward and won. He showed both times. With that in mind.... curious if that effects anyone's play here. Note: he always minraises pf.

What was going through my mind was, the odds that he has it 4 times in about 6 hands was not impossible, but improbable. I expect he has something, not necessarily aces and kings. On the other hand, I didn't to risk an all in with a check raise, nor did I want to scare him off if he had merely 2 overcards or a lower pair. Is this too passive?

I figured with a possible flush on the board, he wouldn't raise me unless he had it, and this way a blocking bet would keep the pot small. But if he significantly raised me, I'm beat.
Thoughts?
